honest with each other. When our police
departments are inefficient, it is charge
able to political control. Officers and
roundsmen alike stand in fear of those
welding "infooens" They are subser-
Went to the bosses they know that their
retention depends more upon the smile of
the ward boss than the approval of the
general public. Under an organization
semi-military we would have system of
promotions based upon meritorious service.
=" Deserving" would be the rule, and fear
lessness in duty-doing the motto. The
vocation of policeman ought to be a life
service for all efficient men. Rogues like
nothing better than frequent changes in
police departments new deal in a
police department IS their especial oppor-
tunity. There is one other provision the
San Francisco charter-makers should at
tach to their new resolution, and that is
to make the term of Chief of Police and
all subordinate police officers so indefinite
that displacement can be made only for
cause, and not political cause at that
This is the theory upon which we proceed
with State Prison officials, and it should
be extended to our police departments.

A SoDA-WATER LEAsE.-The lease of the
Napa Soda Springs in Napa county is the
basis of suit begun in the Superior Court
yesterday. John P. Jackson is the plainti.f fl
He AYERS that he is the owner of the
springs, and that in August last he leased
the right of bottling and placing on the
market the water of the springs to c. H.
Jackson and w. S. Gage, Jr., for five years.
For the privilege the lessees agreed TO pay
plaintiff Is cents a dozen. In November
the lessor became dissatisfied with the man
ner in which the provisions of the lease
were being carried out, and began suit to
dissolve the lease. A receiver was ap-
pointed, C. L. Weller being selected. J. P.
Jackson now requests of the Superior Court
that it cancel the lease altogether. The
lessees, he alleges, are incompetent agents.
He also seeks to recover $4,000 damages

FINGER NAILs.-S Somebody has been fig

a lifetime of 40 years for a single finger.
At this rate, the growth of all the finger

ations would furnish length of finger nail

WE have neither part nor lot in a county
division contest now going on, but we can
not forego the opportunity to make the
case point moral. Two bodies of good
citizens are honesty divided in sentiment
as to the economic policy of dividing the
county. But some indiscreet members of
one party-and we are sure without the
approval of that party-lost their temper
and entered into the realm of vituperation.
Now there is not particle of strength in
abusing an advocate. Where principle is
involved, it matters not if one of its sup
porters or opponents is the son of man
who wore spurs, or is charged with being
a descendant Of the canine species When
men so far forget themselves as to project
into legitimate debate the methods of the
bar-room, they offend in the grossest man
ner This same practice, however, is not
infrequent in legislative debates, and mo-
tives are impugned and character assailed
under the delusion that such policy is
fnrceful and effective. The man who re-
trains from it, who debates issues upon
legitimate lines, and who keeps his tenn
per, always has the advantage.

prepared by the san Francisco Board of Trade:
WHEREAS, The Atlantic and Pacific coasts of
the United states are unprovided with defense
against maritime attack from any power pos
sessing modern cruiser armed with long-range
ordnance; and whereas, such a condition is in

the construction of modern ordnance; the con-
struction of modern batteries, and of rapid
armored vessels for the defense of our seacoast

tinent.
Resolped, That legislative body has no higher
duty than the national defense, and that our
people will gladly support the policy of judi
cious expenditure of the public funds for this
purpose.
Rtsolred, That attested copies of this joint
resolution be forwarded to the Senate and House
of Representatives in Congress assembled.
